I just had an interesting thought on "click-wrap" agreements.

In most states in Oz, where a contact is entered into in your own
residence, there is a statutory "cooling off" period wherein you can
revoke the contract.

Now, given the recent judgement in Gutnick v ??? about where a defamatory
article is published (yes, I know it is being appealed), does that mean
that a "click-warp" agreement is a contract entered into in you own
residence and therefore able to be revoked within the cooling off period.

OK. lawyers, how say you.
